23 January 2018 Lite_Agent R.B.I. Baseball 18

Back in September, the very first baseball game on Nintendo Switch was released: R.B.I. Baseball 17. It was the very first time in 22 years that the series was releasing on a Nintendo platform, and the good news is, it won’t be another 22 years until the next one is! Last week, it was announced that R.B.I. Baseball 18 would be releasing on Nintendo Switch in March, alongside the other platforms (no late port this time around).

Here’s a teaser trailer (that doesn’t show one second of gameplay, unfortunately):

Brand New Home Run Derby Mode: Challenge a friend or the CPU in the ultimate slugfest!
